John Murray back from Canda and keeping busy

Pickering getting back on the horse

Meager, Corcoran and Eastman (Gilbert) all scheduled as well.


Don't expect a huge amount from the opponents, I don't think it's a night to be risking anything for any of them (Eastman the exception although he should win) but good to see them all out and fighting regularly.


Micky Steeds also has a keep busy fight in the next couple of weeks. Can't remember when, it's on the comm. feather title bill

Its not a good undercard unless their are fighting more than punch bags though.

The PPV in two weeks has lots of good guys in action but in what looks to be poor fights.

That's a point. I sort of meant to say that in a way. I've changed the title.

Good names, certainly, all fighters that I'd be happy to watch. As was mentioned though, it depends on the opponents. Nottingham is less than an hours drive for me though, so I'm tempted to journey up. Anyone from here going?

Quick question: Is John Murray actually on Hennessey's books? Because I'm sure I've read that he's not tied down to anyone. Which would be great, because I'd like to see him against Corcoran early next year, leading to a fight against Mitchell in the summer. Murray-Mitchell just has to happen, surely?

I'm probably very, very wrong about John Murray's situation, so feel free to correct me. I'll be happy to eat the humble pie, but I'd like to know what the score is with the lad, I think he's a class act in the ring.

Cocoran was VERY impressive vs Rutherford.... For me, the most impressive performance of the three Super Feather propsects to date - but he is a little older.

Having said that, I was watching the fights of 2004 the other day and I am concerned about Rutherford continuing. I noticed a definate slurring in speach prior to the Cocoran fight, comparing to his interviews on the Fights of 2004.
